Psalms 70

1 To the Chief Musician. David’s. To call to Remembrance. [Be pleased] O God, to rescue me, O Yahweh, to help me—make haste.

Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi, ey’okujjukiza. Ayi Katonda oyanguwa okundokole. Ayi Mukama oyanguwe okumbeera.

2 Let them turn pale and then at once blush, Who are seeking my life, —Let them draw back, and be confounded, Who are taking pleasure in my misfortune;

Abo abannoonya okunzita batabulwetabulwe; abo abannoonya okunzikiriza, bagobebwe nga baswadde.

3 Let them turn back, on account of their own shame, Who are saying, Aha! Aha!

Abagamba nti, “Kasonso,” badduke nga bajjudde ensonyi.

4 Let all them be glad and rejoice in thee, Yea, let them, who are seekers of thee, —say continually, God be magnified! Who are lovers of thy salvation.

Naye bonna abakunoonya basanyukenga bajagulizenga mu ggwe. Abo abaagala obulokozi bwo boogerenga bulijjo nti, “Katonda agulumizibwenga!”

5 But, I, being humbled and needy, O God, haste to me, —My help and my deliverer, art thou, O Yahweh do not tarry.

Naye nze ndi mwavu era ndi mu kwetaaga; oyanguwe okujja gye ndi, Ayi Katonda. Ggwe onnyamba era ggwe ondokola, Ayi Mukama, tolwa!
